    Bosh + Scola >>> Scola + Landry

    And since this is officially Deke's last season, we can actually get a 5 to backup Yao that will actually help us on the court. A 5 that would make up for the soft kittens.

    Concerned with Yao checking Bargnani on the perimeter. Also, Shawn Marion going off, however he has been sick. We have to punishe Bargnani down low and take the energy out of him with Yao posting up down low and taking his time punishing this dude.

    AB has to go at Calderon and put him in the PnR with Bargnani. Both are horrible defenders of the PnR.

    Artest, don't jack every shot tonight. Ball movement, we don't need a ball stopping Tmac clone. Also stop dribbling the ball up the court, let Aaron set up the offense!

    Adelman, please have some offensive options when teams are fronting Yao. Teams are catching on that this is working, we need to counter it.

    Brooks, don't lose your confidence. Also lift some weights in the off-season.

    Barry, get under control.

    Everyone else, keep doing what you're doing.

    You'd be silly if you think Yao's gonna guard Il mago. He'll probably guard Bosh, Scola/Landry/Artest will guard Bargnani.

    After Shaquille O'Neal scored 45 against Toronto on Friday, Raptors star Chris Bosh said O'Neal had benefited from officials ignoring his three-second lane violations.

    "I heard what Chris Bosh said, and that's strong words coming from the RuPaul of big men," O'Neal said. "I'm going to do the same thing (in their next meeting) I did before - make him quit. Make 'em quit and complain. It's what I do."

    O'Neal is the only NBA player other than Stephon Marbury and Bernard King to record 40-point games with four teams.

    "I warned these guys he can do that," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said.

    I see the raptors as an all around good team with a low post presence. They are similar to our team, only that our team is deeper, more talented, and with more heart. It will be nice to watch, i enjoy to watch the raptors.

    After the game, Morey needs to get Bosh fit for a Rockets jersey.

    The RuPaul of big men will go off on Houstan to prove he is no pansy! Look for Bosh to dominate. Raptors will run Yao into the ground. Marion will go off for 45... Who am I kidding? Houstan by 25
